Confirmation of difference between US windshield washer bottle and CDN version
I had always heard that the CDN bottle was much larger than the US version and now I can confirm this is true. I need to replace my CDN bottle because it was cracked in an accident. I orderd one off of ebay and it was from a USDM car. When it came I was surprised about the size difference. See pic. I guess my car is a couple of ounces lighter now.

but you know what pisses me off about the CDN bottle? .....you buy a jug of fluid when you're completely out right? ...go fill up the resivoir .. it looks as if it's going to take the whole bottle... nope, it leaves you with a TINY little bit of fluid.... lol. they couldn't make it half a litre bigger? i bet those japanese guys did this on purpose.. those bastards.

Re: (da_truf)
Mine used to take a whole bottle as well when it ran completely dry. I guess I will miss the extra capacity but it was better than having one that leaked out every couple of days.

Re: (temp)
I think it is about 2 inches shorter but I don't have them to measure. You can probably estimate from the picture. Here is another angle.

Re: (jBj)
lol, wtf?! Well, i guess we could sell USDM ones to you canadians who are into the "weight reduction".... but then again if you are that gangster about it, you'd prob remove it completely.

still kinda stupid. Newyork and the nothern states get just as much snow as we do here in 75% of Canada.
